Smoked Trout

[Bugman]

We are having our annual trout weekend coming up. I'm looking to do something different and wanted to try smoking some. Any good recipies out there? Sounds like have a good brine then pick your wood of choice.

make sure you check page 2 of the cooking and receipe forum under the thread "fished ice off yesterday-will smoke trout tommorow" by the best guy on the smoker Third Eye. it's step by step with pictures and you will not be dissapointed. good luck.

reinhard1, Thanks for the kind words...

Bugman, HERE is the link to that earlier thread. No matter what curing and smoking method you use, The single most important thing when saving fish for smoking is to field dress them immediately and get them on ice. Two of my buddies are going for a 4 day trip on Thursday and I think they are taking a 20# bag plus two blocks.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. The pictures look great and delicious.
